And now the news for the East Midlands, | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
East Midlands Today's been told that vets have been paid to treat people | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
They won't go to hospital, because they don't want | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
So now this region's "major trauma unit" is planning | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Victims will be offered confidential help from youth workers, | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
This exclusive report from our Social Affairs | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
But many people who have been injured in blade attacks refuse | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
Nathan ended up in hospital after being slashed across his face | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
and hand, near his home in St Anne's in Nottingham. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
They start asking questions, like how did it happen? | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
I have to lie to them, I do not want them to get | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
the police involved, they know that you're | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
the one that got stabbed, and you're the one that is most | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
That's why it puts you in a bad position. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
And also, to your friends, it looks like... | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
It could look like you're an informant, that you are | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
You know what they say, snitches get stitches. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Other people who already need stitches refuse to go to hospital | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
We've been told some victims hop out of ambulances, | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
while others look for people who can stitch them up at home. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
The Nottingham boxing coach Marcellus Baz runs knife crime | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
workshops for schools and young offenders. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
I've come across it quite a few times, where people have known vets | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
on a personal level, and ask them to stitch them up. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
And it's happening here in Nottingham. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
They need to get stitched, they need to get healed, | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
and they know if they go to hospital, they're | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Maybe make a little bit of money on the side. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
So now, the major trauma unit that covers the East Midlands | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
is going to try a new approach that doesn't involve police. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Youth workers will be embedded with doctors | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
at the Queens Medical Centre to offer victims confidential | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
support at a time when they're most receptive. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Whether it is that young person going on to become a perpetrator, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
of violence against somebody else, or the community and violence | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
continues, that is what we are looking to try and stop in that | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
short window of opportunity, that's very difficult to accept that | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
kind of help until you recognise you need it. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Redthread been invited to Nottingham because of their track record | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
in hospitals in London, so, does Nathan think | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
It can give them the knowledge and the tools to know | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
about the consequences, if they do retaliate. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Tackling knife crime is a growing priority, | :02:48. | :02:48. | |
and they hope that teachable moment in hospital can make | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Jeremy, it does seem extraordinary, that a vet | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
It does, but we've had confirmation of what you heard from Marcellus Baz | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
from two other people who work with groups that tackle gang | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Now, they all told me they know victims personally, who have paid | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
They also say that sometimes girlfriends or nurses are pressured | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
I would imagine, would a vet get into trouble | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
I asked that question to the Royal College | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
of Veterinary Surgeons today, they told me that nobody has ever | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
been struck off for doing this but because of confidentiality, | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
they cannot say if there have ever been complaints about it. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
They've told me there are rules that ban vets from prescribing | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
medicines to humans, but this is not entirely clear-cut | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
because anyone with first aid skills can try to save someone's life. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
But, they should not be being paid for it. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
OK Jeremy, thank you very much indeed. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Next tonight - the shocking case of the Nottinghamshire woman | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
who died because she wasn't given life-saving brain surgery | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
A coroner ruled Teresa Dennett, who was 58, would probably have | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
lived had she got her operation when it was needed. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Here's our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
This is a truly shocking case. Teresa Dennett went to her local | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
hospital, Kingsmill, they were caught in the middle trying to | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
transfer her to a specialist centre for emergency brain surgery but they | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
were passed from one hospital to another. This is what happened on | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
that fateful day in February, last year. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Teresa Dennett was admitted to Kingsmill's emergency | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
A rare stroke was diagnosed which might need brain surgery, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
That afternoon, neurosurgeons at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
told doctors at Kingsmill to keep observing her. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
A CT scan showed a worsening condition. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
After midnight, a Nottingham neurosurgery registrar advised | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
But a consultant dropped the move because intensive care was full. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Sheffield was then contacted but a consultant insisted | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Sheffield had eight free intensive care beds and surgeons available. | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
By 3.30am, she had deteriorated too much for an operation. | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
Sheffield dispute that they had eight intensive care beds free. They | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
say that they would have made space, however, for her. Had they known | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
that Nottingham could not do the surgery. Whatever the intricacies of | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
who said what and when, what it boils down to is a patient who | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
desperately needed an operation to save her life, and she was let down | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
by the NHS. The coroner has written to both hospitals, ordering them to | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
make changes to make sure this never happens again. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
A coroner has ruled that all 30 British victims of the 2015 | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Tunisia terror attacker were "unlawfully killed". | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Nicholas Loraine-Smith rejected calls from lawyers for some | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
of the dead people's relatives to rule that "neglect" by travel | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
firm TUI or the hotel owners played a role in their killing. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Among those murdered were five people from the East Midlands - | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Scott Chalkley from Derby and his partner Sue Davey. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
John Stollery from Nottingham and Angela | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
Mr and Mrs Fisher's son and daughter gave their reaction | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Hearing that evidence, there was a lot of blame | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
apportioned to individual members of the police | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
I did feel that was a little bit of an obvious target, | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
and I was a little disappointed that we did not hear | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
about the Tunisian states and some of the action that they could have | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
taken to improve security in the hotels, and forced tour | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
operators and hotel owners to do that. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The main reason I decided to come every day was | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
I did not witness what happened to my mum and dad, | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
so it was important for me to know what happened and get as much | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Well earlier, I spoke to Kieran Mitchell - | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
a lawyer for the family of Scott Chalkley, and asked him | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
The family are, understandably, a little disappointed with the ruling. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
They would have liked there to have been more direct criticism | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
that they accept and acknowledge the judge was constrained | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
by the law available to him in reaching that verdict. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
When you say direct criticism, of whom? | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Of TUI in particular, he found he was unable to reach | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
And, were they very disappointed as well about the lack | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
of condemnation of the police over there and their response times? | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
There was certainly some specific condemnation of police, | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
they were referred to as "cowardly and shambolic", by the judge. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
So, I think some heart was taken from that criticism. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
What more could have been done to protect tourists? | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Certainly deficiencies were identified in the wake | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
of the Bardo shootings, and prior to these atrocities | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
happening, and audits could have been carried out on security | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
at the hotels, to identify those deficiencies, and remedy them. | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
That may well have prevented some, if not all, of those deaths. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Would you be pressing for a civil case for damages on Scott's behalf? | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
That is something I will be discussing with our | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
And what, if anything, do you think the travel industry | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
The travel industry needs to be clear to warn its guests | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
of the risks posed by certain destinations, and that is apparently | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
something TUI themselves have already learned, | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
Sheffield dispute that they had eight intensive care beds free. They | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
say that they would have made space, however, for her. Had they known | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
that Nottingham could not do the surgery. Whatever the intricacies of | :08:35. | :08:35. | |
who said what and OK, thank you very much | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
for talking to us. Police have made a fresh appeal | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
for information about the murder of a woman in Leicester, | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
which featured on the BBC's 56-year-old Mumtaz Member was found | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
on 12 December 2015 at her home A post-mortem examination | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
revealed she died as A year on, Crimestoppers | :08:54. | :08:56. | |

So, it's goodbye from me - but with your weather | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Thank you. It is the last day of meteorological winter today, and we | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
had some springlike photos sent in early today. There is simply sky | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
over Derwent dam in Derbyshire, and some blossom began to come out. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Thank you to our Weather Watchers for those pictures. Looking at the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
pressures, not so springlike. Low pressure in charge of the weather | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
with this front coming towards us. Wet weather expected. Overnight | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
tonight, patches of rain clear out the way. We should be left with | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
clear spells in the early hours, temperatures will take a tumble. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Lows of 2 degrees, and we could see some frost and icy patches forming | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
on untreated brutes. Bright tomorrow to begin with but cloud continues | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
over the day -- routes. Rain begins to push in, patchy in | :10:41. | :10:56. | |
nature with highs of 8 is the nicest day of the next view, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
otherwise chilly and unsettled. Good evening. We are about to head | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
into March, the days are getting longer, but are they getting any | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
warmer? Not really. We will get there in the end, but we will have | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
to be patient, not very springlike at the moment. Some showers | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
scattered around across England and Wales will tend to diminish in | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
number, a few left behind, wintry showers across the north of | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
Scotland, snow at low-level is, ice as well as temperatures fall close | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
to freezing. A cold night with a touch of frost in a number of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
places. Plenty of sunshine across southern areas first of all, but it | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
will not last, rain spilling from the south, the best brightness and | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
eventually further north across | :11:50. | :11:50. |
